The banker's profit is more when ex
change is low than when it is high, and
Ins risk is less, To make half a dollar
on a hundred dollars is better than
making the same sum on one hundred
and five dollars. Purchasers of drafts
pay in siher, and receive gold or its
equivalent in San Francisco and other
plates where the drafts nre paid. It
lias been the custom of agents nod
bankers to overdraw their accounts
abroad in seasons when the exports of
sugar, etc, were light, and to give
drafts to their customers as required
and with but slight advance in rate of
exchange. Some people seem to think
that the supply of exchange is like the
reservoir of water underlying our
island, which only needs to be bored
into in order to flow constantly in wet
or dry seasons."
It, was Mermnadus, friend of Cyrus
who spoke, and Telemachus listened as
one listens when Olympian Jove nods
and there is silence on I.arnassos. " I
do not see how the arguuicntum ad

great Mermnadus," said the pilgrim of
truth. " I thank you, my son, replied
the friend of Cyrus and of Solon.
Narcissus Maxiuius he of the
Apollonian face, the Mars-like front and
the Vitlcanian gait came down the
street, a bland smile playing about his
hcamiful lip. Telemachus looked at
the blithe immortal beseechingly, as
they paused under" the friendly awning
at Richardson's corner ; and thus the
elder- "Shake not thy gory locks nt
me, gentle shepherd. ' I know well
enough what you want. " You want
lo know what know about exchange.
Is not that true ?" The truth-seeker
was obliged to admit lhat it was, and
Narcissus went on : " I know one big
thing and two little things about ex
change. The big thing is that it is
higher than any body can afibrd to
wy, nnd that it will soon be higher.
The two little things are ; first, all the
nonsense about the bank (or the banks,
if you please) caring about the con
venience of its (or their) patrons is
moonshine; second, the community
(as a community) is getting just what it
deserves. My gentle swain, do you

'tis because he lias more money bags

They both say (and thev butlUielicve)
that exchange is high because, il is
woitli what it is selling fur. Cyrus and
l.ysander and Xenophen sell over
their counter nearly all the exchange
lhat is sold. They buy this exchange
from the plantation agents, who obtain
it from the plantation owners, who (in
some cases) get th.e profit. The mar
gin of profit to Cyrus & Co. is not
large. It varies from a quarter to one
per cent. No one grumbles at lint
profit when the interest is considered,
and the trouble- Rut Cyius it 'Co.

Narcissus, looking wier than the Huffy

they can," protested Telemachus, would
not they be exercising an altogether
unwarrantable interference with busi

They were talking in the deep, reli
gious quiet of Mentor's inner office.
The graybeard had listened to the dia
logue without a word, a sad smile
playing about his kindly mouth while a
far-away look slept in his calm gray
eyes. " Listen my children, to the
wordiof Mentor. You, Merchanto, have
spoken both eloquently and foolishly.
So, Telemachus, have you. Your
planter is all you say of him, Mer
chanto ; but he is very much like the
rest of us, alter nil. He has been and
is looking out chiefly for Mr. Planter
and the Planter family. If he has
made his pile he has many to thank for
it betides himself and he is entitled to
just the same consideration any
other honestly-successful Hawaiian de
serves and no more. IJon t you
waste any sympathy on your wage
earner 'and your small trader, Tele
machus. Each is buttering his own
bread with most painstaking disregard
of everybody else. The wage owner
may as a rule give an honest day's
work for an honest day's wages; but he
is quite content to let it go at that.
He sells bis work for the highest price
it will bring, does he not? Does he
ever ask whethjrthc wage payer can
afford to pay that price? And your
small trader, Telemachus. Keep all

our importers who are also the largest
exporters, as agents for the plantations
furnish exchange at a low premium
to their own injury, for the pleasure
(while seeing their stock lying idle in
their warehouses) of being called 'phil
anthropists' by sentimentalists like
you; and 'turn-fools' by the very
tradesuien they are obliging. I heard

The attitude of the government to
wards the unrestricted immigration of
unncfiO males is not so well Helmed
that the public can understand it. In
tlic Advcttiscr of last week nn editorial
article avowedly authorilulivc-inadc
a lame explanation of the fact that
many Chinese males have been recently
imported, and that very few females
have come with tlwm. If, ns the orgnn
says, the government intends to have
the traffic in Chinese immigration
regulated according to the understand
ing so lully canvassed last fall, the
public ought to rest satisfied witli that
understanding Hut so long ns Chinese
males, unaccompanied by a fairly pro
portionate number of wives, continue
to arrive m increasing numbers, the
public must be? pardoned for distrust
ing the promises of the government, ns
mere molasses to catch votes. Wc are
aware of how necessary cheap labor
is to the successful prosecution ol this
countrys dominant industry, but we
also know that there nre social pro
blems more important to the future of
Hawaii than the uninterrupted pros
perity of the planting industry or any
other industry. That those social pro
blems may become political problems
all men who sec far beyond their noses
most clearly discern. We appeal to
the king and the honestly intelligent
among his advisers for a statesmanlike
nnd final solution of the Chinese
problem.
The chief secretary of the foreign
office has kindly furnished desired in
formation as follows:
In April, 1833, resolutions were
passed by the king in cabinet council
protesting against the then threatened
influx of cliinc.se males in numbers out
of all proportion to the needs of the
country, Hy the terms of these reso
lutions, authority to regulate Chinese
immigration was conferred on the min
ister of foreign affairs.
In July, 1883, the resolutions of
April were rescinded and new resolu
tions passed by the king in cabinet
council, by authority of which action
tile minister of foreign affairs made the
memorable contract with the P. M. S.
S. Co. "
Shortly thereafter the arrangement
with the mail company was cancelled
and a similar arrangement made with a
company organized to connect these
islands with China by steamer service.
On the 15th oflast month new rejni-
lations -were passed, by the terms of
which Chinese were to be brought here
by mail steamers only
On the 25th oflast month the revised
resolutions were jiassed those publish
ed in the Press of this issue, Hy the
terms of the last resolution any vessel
is permitted to land twenty-five Chi
nese passengers under quarantine re
gulations and such other restrictions as
may obtain at the time of possible
landing.
The last resolution was evidently the
final triumph of the Cibsonian mind.
One may not fail to admire the mental
powers capable of so finished a scheme
Hut language is inadequate to unravel
the intricate imbecility of the premier's
course. 1 here is a complexity of in
appontcness about it which would do
infinite credit to a local "journalist"
trying to be funny. There lurks in its
profound stupidity something of the
sublimity which doth crown the callow-
dodo. If we had less veneration for
the exalted office of minister of all
work, we should playfully suggest that
Mr. Gibson resembles the male pro
jector of the longest-cared hybrid in
nature.
Is it wortli while seriously to con
sider this geometrical progression of
folly? Yes, for it will help dispel the
fond tradition that Mr. Cibson is a
statesmen even a good play states
man. Kveryone remembers how the
government organ "whooped up" the
contract with the mail company, The
advantage of having Chinese brought
here under the best sanitary regulations
was dwelt upon with much picturesque
vigor. Crusoe Gibson, or some one of
Ins merry meiwrrid.iys wrote ns well
(as little badly) on tliat topic as on any
the organ ever treatedr Shortly there
after, Mr. Spreckels came to town, mid
rumor had it that that sunny gentleman
was "displeased" with the little game.
So obliging Mr. Gibson changed the
fine sanitary regulations of the mail
tomivany for the rather finer sanitary
conditions of a line of steamers that
existed on paper only. Kveryone
knows the rest. Everyone who will
may realirc the iniioteiu conclusion
reached at last. It seaks for itself; it
is a joke for a court fool to wax fat over,

What in being done to supply de
mand for moie varied industries
first, of course, ought lo he noted Ihe
iitirHcry work nnd experimental forest
planting nenr thin city, nndurtnken by
the government, under the direction of
Mr. A. Jncger. The nympalliy and
renpec t of the entire community ought
to follow Mr. Jaeger in this work ; and
the rcpoit ho is preparing for the forth
coining legislature will doubtless throw
light 11(1011 a subject which nil com
munities nre loo prone lo neglect. It
is due tlint the experiment in m yet
too young for the sure announcement
of unquestionable results. Hut enough
has been done to encourage us greatly.
There has never been done anything bet
ter calculated to please the thoughtful
among our citicnx than this work now
being carried on with such loving Inter
est by Mr. Jaeger. Wc die with pleas
ure the successful experiment in the
manufacture of poi flour. We note the
incieascd exportation of banana. We
hear of persons who nre beginning Ihe
cultivation of awa on epiite a scale for
purposes of export, - the root being in
demand for its medicinal properties.
Further than (his wc can speak of
nothing encouraging in the way of new
industries or of increased production of
any of our former export. If taro
could find a market in San Francisco
as a vegetable, it could undoubtedly be
successfully exported and yield a
larger profit per acre than oilr planters
average on cane At present home
consumption is hardly supplied and
without a very large increase in produc
tion foreign trade would not pay. Hut
taro can be raised profitably where
cane and rice would fail as a crop. It
is quite lime that more attention was
paid to coffee culture. Men have tried
and failed. Hut it is not unlikely that
in other coffee countries adverse crops
have depressed growers and that they
have had to fight the blight too. It
could seem that this was too ii.ipOrtaul
an article of export to deserve the fate
that it receives at the hands of our
small farmers. The banana -trade
thrives but much more might be ac
complished in the export of this popular
fruit were growers on the other islands
encouraged to increased production Ir
regular steamship communication with
San Francisco. The gulches of our va
rious islands arc the natural home of
the banana, and can there be cultiva
ted at almost no outlay of money or
labor. Hut for articles of export, ship
ment must be by steam direct to the
Coast. Until it is profitable for the
California steamers to .touch at Hilo
for other reasons, the banana industry
of Hawaii which ought to add consid
erably to our monthly output is the
veriest castle of Spain so far as af
fecting our export trade is concerned.
Hut can nothing be done towards
developing industries on the various is
lands hitherto untried ? Wc believe
much can be done, nnd that the mat
ter is of such national importance that
some government action should be
taken at once. The agricultural re
sources of the country arc: such, and
our dependence on them in the absence
of mining and manufactures so entire,
that h is very fitting that there should
be a commissioner of agriculture and
forestry one each or two in one
whose duties should be to aid the
materiaIvdevcIopment of the nation, by
the collection of statistics, trials of
plants, introduction of valuable seeds,
exjieriments in fertilizers, attention to
facilities for shipment of products, de
tection of, causes of and remedies for
blight and diseases among live-stock,
and the dissemination of facts pertain
ing to island products thus ; helping to
procure markets for a large list of pro
ducts that do not now figure in the
export tables. As a valuable adjunct
io such a department of agriculture,
we would recommend the establish
ment of stations for plant propagation
where the facts icrtaining to the value
of a plant, its cost of production, and
its adaptability to soil and climate can
be duly ascertained. The fact that
there are three schools with jarms, and
manual labor departments, conveniently
situated one each on the islands of
Oahu, Maui, and Hawaii, is a forceful
reason why such stations should be
established, and established at each of
these three centers,. We refer to the
Reformatory School at Honolulu, I-n-luinaluna
Seminaiy at Mdialna, and
Hilo Hoarding School. The island
nveragc in c'imate, (whether of rainfall
or temtieraturc), in soil, in altitude, is
fairly represented by these three locali
ties, and whatever is found to thrive at
each is thereby shown to be well ada
ted to our island conditions. With
but little expense important experi
ments in plant propagation could be
grafted on o the manual hlior deiiart
ments in these schools and untold
service be thereby rendered to the agri
cultural interests of the kingdom. Two
of these schools are wholly under gov
ernment control and the word needs
only to be uttered to begin experiments
at each. The Hio school though in
dejiendant would doubtless accede to
sucji an arrangement, and very valuable
data might there fete gained relative to
the class .of new- pkmts that woutd
flourish on windward Hawaii, a long
fertile dUtrict of great productive pos
sibilities and aqmble of sustaining a

highest national intercut, an inferior
man vole cancels a superior man
vote too frequently. The scope for
dcmagogisiii in great in Iwariln, and one
man very often 'bosses' the machine.
And the personal nennc of responsibility
lor every vote in not no keen nn would
be that of a single officer whoie every
public action is weighed."
We think the two thouuhiful ttentle-
men from whom wc quote go a little too
lar in Iheir censure of the board system
It in true that nothing could well be
less respectable than the board system
ns practiced here, nut a sheht inodifi
cation of the system might give us just
wnai wc need.
To illustrate : The ideal board of
health ought to consist of agood.busi
ncsn man. a Practical engineer and one
or two qualified physicians. Hut if
those competent and (, it is to he sup
posed ) reputable individuals are to be
under the thumb of any person who
Hits crotchets or is corrupt, the board
might as well not be and the one-man
power in the right hands would be a
vast Jiuprovmcnt. Now there are sev
eral ways to uuard aeainst such a con
dition of things as confronts us in anv
consideration of the health affairs of
the Hawaiian Kingdom. One way is
to pass a law whereby no man in these
Hawaiian Islands may hold two public
offices at the same time no matter
whether they be salaried officers or not.
Deprive the cuttle fish of several of his
cupulcs and he is a less dangerous
monster. If Mr. Gibson had neither
a place on any of the various boards
which Wc now bestrides like a lilllpution
collossus above a nest of crmites, or if
lie had not even the more or less mi
riortant power of appointing the mem
bers or those boards, his opportunities
for harm doing would be far less ; and
the nation would not be contemplating
the humiliating spectacle of three com
paratively ignorant pretenders in the
three positions most important to the
public health so far as the government
is concerned.
Then as to the board of immigration ;
11 may oe true, as wc nave already sug
gested, that one good man could ar
range all the details pertaining to the
complex and ever-widening subject of
immigration ucitcr man a board could.
Hut weight must be accorded to the
opinion of those who insist that it
would be folly to trust to the wisdom of
one man the various questions within
the great question of immigration the
adjustment of the relation between em
ployer and employed, the relative value
of different kinds of labor to the coun
try generally and to the planting class,
the effect of unrestricted male immi
gration, the just regulation of the
"tramp" class, etc.
Hut if three or five men may deter
mine the true satisfaction of the more
pressing equations of our immigration
problem, it is just as important as in
the boardof-health matter that those
three or five men should have the confi
dence of the public, that there should
be no improper interference with their
deljlieratlons or their work, and that
their time should not be circumscribed
by other official duties.
How choose boards? There arc
various ways in which good boards
might be selected. They ought to lie
strictly non-partisan. Hut if all members
are elected, they can noc non par
tisan. And if all be appointed by the
government they cannot Iw non parti
san In considering the appointment
of a police commission, a Press corrcs
pondant (writing last summer) sug
gested a representative board to be
chosen as follows : one member aj
pointed by the minister of the interior
and the attorney general jointly, one to
be apjiointed by the Honolulu Chamber
of Commerce, a third to be elected by
the people. It would lie of course
imjiortant, if such a plan prevailed,
that one member of the board or com
mision should go. out annually. Good
men could be returned to office: had
men dropicd.
The recent experience of California
has been, on the wlinl, cnronrairin, in
those who lielieve in the efficacy of
wufiiiii3iima iu iVpUi.iicTctn.tuc iiiiihi,vc
administration. The railroad com
mission has failed to extort from a bv
no-iiieann-opcn-handed corporation the
terms wnicn a sumewnai grecuy puoue
demanded. Absurdities and serious
follies have been charged (and not dis
proved) against the Yo Semite Com
mission. The California State Board
of Equalization has nut given the
satisfaction iu projectors hoped it
would cli-scivf. Hut. fur vvat. the
state bank communion Iu been doing
quite, systematic and reliable work.
San rnnctco twice commission
with Fa Mayor William Alvord at its
head has given that city a police force
that rus been equal to mot of the
demands upon 11. Audit park com
mlnnioner of which Ihe name genlle
111.111 wa for year a member have
made of Golden Gale Park one of the
wonder Ktln of the world.
We think a nyntem of freely connll
tilled iiniMiiinu'llcd and rcprcH-nialire
hoard of departmental control would
Improve our govcnuiienf gicitly We
llilnk iho duties of each of the four
cabinet orlfo!lon nre enough tcmigriin
Ihe time nnd attention of a good man
ami leave no lime for meddling in the
doliiiln of the control of minor dciart-uu-ntn.
If it shall ncetn better lo the
leginlaliire lo venl government control
of health, of education, of imiuiurntiori,
of police, of Agriculture, of forestry, of
1111 c uiitire, each in one man, the ntm
will welcome the innovation a a vnil
improvement upon the system now in
vogue; nnd leave il to lime to deter
mine the wlcijoni of Ihe nwceping
change Lerlninly no worne nyntem
could well be devised than the one that
leave Mr Gibson in virtual control of
more; department tli.in iwo men, each
belter and wiser than he, could Intelli
gently ndmlnislur.
The new wharf fiom the reef toward

No one tlial'cnre for good reading
